HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

6. After the all updates for the above virtual partitions have completed, use Update-UX to install
the latest OE and vPars bundle to the first virtual partition.
Example:
keira1 # update-ux -s depot1:/release/1131/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335CC
Although you can do all the updates in parallel, you need to make sure that all of the other
virtual partition updates have successfully performed the updating to the point of halting. In
the next step, the entire nPartition will be rebooted; if the other virtual partitions are still in
progress of updating, the OS instances may be in an unknown state.
NOTE: If the BOOT and ALTBOOT disks are a mirrored pair, updating is not required on
the ALTBOOT disk. Otherwise, if you wish to have the alternate boot disk updated, after
updating the OS on the primary boot path disk, boot the virtual partitions from the alternate
path boot disk and repeat the update-ux procedure. For example, if keira2 has an alternate
boot disk that is not a mirror of the primary boot disk, and you wish to update the OS on the
alternate boot disk, boot keira2 from the alternate boot path using:
MON> vparload -p keira2 -B ALT
and repeat the update-ux procedure:
keira2# update-ux -s depot1:/release/1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335BC
7. Reboot the nPartition.
Example:
MON> reboot
On Integrity, if you need to change the PRI boot path, reboot in nPars mode:
MON> reboot npars
NOTE: At this point, you need to reboot the nPartition from the MON> prompt, not just the
virtual partition. By rebooting the nPartition, you can load the new vPars Monitor.
8. If you need to change the PRI boot path, follow the procedure below. Otherwise, proceed to
the next step.
a. Interrupt the boot up process and enter into standalone (PA) or nPars (Integrity) mode.
Example for PA-RISC:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix
Example for Integrity:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vmunix
b. Change the nPartition’s PRI path to the boot path of the future A.05.01 partition recorded
earlier.
Example:
keira# parmodify -p0 -b 0.0.6.0.0.5.0
where the syntax of parmodify is
• -p nPartition_number
• -b primary_boot_path
